Monitoring Outgoing Connections?

[Joseph Chase]

Is it possible to write a client within Python that would trigger some sort
of callback interface when the user is attempting to make an outgoing TCP/IP
connection? I'd like to accomplish this on a Windows XP box.

Is this something that could be accomplished with the Twisted framework, or
am I going to have to dive in the platform specific API?

TIA.

AFAIK, there is no cross-platform way of doing anything resembling that,
so you will have to do the dive...
